These boys are sporting Falling Rock Day Camp T-shirts and are watching a model rocket launch. Hundreds of Cub Scouts have attended Cub Day Camp at Camp Falling Rock over the years. Are you in this picture? Which was more fun — watching a model rocket go to great heights and to parachute safely back to Earth, or watching a model rocket explode overhead? I guess it depends on how old you are. You’ve got to love being a kid.

Advocate photographers have come and gone over the years, and each has left his or her mark chronicling the lives of Licking County residents.

In the hustle and bustle of the news gathering process, photos sometimes become misplaced or tucked away in archives as photographers move onto the next lead. The photos eventually resurface, but their stories have long faded from memory.

We have scanned many of these prints and negatives, and will be publishing them here.

Is there a face you recognize, or an event you witnessed? Leave your comments and maybe you can help unlock these little mysteries.
